Chapter 31: The Moving Stars
"Click, click."
Walking slowly, Joshua came to the side of the throne, and he didn't say much, just looked down at the earth with Israel.
At an altitude of 12,000 meters above the earth's surface, the lookout was fully deployed, the floating wings designed by the old mage were absorbing the power of the surrounding elements to maintain a steady levitation, and the four rows of foliate wings forged from metal and crystal emitted a hazy colored light. Further up was the thin atmosphere, where only the aether roamed, and Nostradamus came to the warrior's side, and together the three of them gazed at the surface world that had been stretched to its limits.
Here you can see most of the empire, forests, deserts, swamps, mountains, plains, there are almost all kinds of ecological communities in this vast land, even the bare lava fields can be found around the wind erosion desert - and no matter where you can see the city lights, intelligent life has lived on this land for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even more than that, hundreds of millions of human beings have thrived on this continent and lived their own lives.
"It's crazy."
Looking at the world, Joshua spoke, and he said, "An old man of a few tens of years old said that he would regulate a quarter of humanity and threatened to eradicate all oppression and evil...... Who does he think he is? ”
"As you say, it's just a crazy old man, dreaming with his teacher."
On the throne, Israel let out a deep voice: "After the first sinners are removed, Teacher Nostradamus will make education compulsory throughout the empire - and the school will be built on the original mansions and lairs of the lords and the darkness, and their wealth will be spent on it by the royal family." ”
"When the two masters, Barnier and William, are officially hired as the tutors of our special research institute to further simplify the materials and structure of the information terminal, it will also become the standard for the subjects of the empire, and the registration of information in various governments after the age of 16 will become a new rite of passage - the nobility still exists, but the privilege comes from the contribution, and they can squander it extravagantly, as long as they have enough strength and merit."
"We are not going to carry out a massacre...... We will maintain social stability. ”
On the side, Nostradamus said softly: "Israel will only execute those who have committed crimes, but have not been punished, he will not intervene in ordinary civil and criminal cases, that is the work of law enforcement, and I will try my best to cultivate a large number of young people with correct values and worldviews...... Israel will not be able to sit in this seat forever, they will be the pillars of the new society. ”
The emperor and the old mage have been planning for many years, but they have been trapped in the imperial capital because they can't get out of the first step, but now, the opportunity has come, with information terminals and floating warships, their influence can cover the entire empire, these two people know that the old society is extremely difficult to change, or even impossible to change, so the two legendary powerhouses used their own power to completely suppress and destroy the old society, and then build a new one from scratch.
And this process only takes thirty thirty days.
Crazy to the extreme, this kind of speed, except for the world of magic and swords, except for the world of legendary powerhouses who can use their own power to suppress tens of millions of troops, no matter where it can be done.
Joshua was silent, and Israel on the throne turned his head slightly, and he glanced at the warrior, so his serious expression changed slightly.
The emperor said in a strange tone: "You laughed. ”
Radcliffe ...... You actually laughed. ”
As he spoke, the corners of Israel's mouth went up, he first snorted, and then chuckled in a low voice: "You just said that I was a crazy person - Joshua, you are even crazier than me!" ”
On the side, Joshua was indeed laughing, he was laughing very happily, naturally, not sarcastically, not deliberately contrived.
"Crazy people aren't all bad people."
As he spoke, the warrior closed his eyes slightly, and he clasped his hands in front of his chest: "Everyone dreams, and there are many strange things in dreams, but you two are the few guys who want to realize the things in their dreams, and they are even rarer, and they are extremely rare and can complete the things in their dreams. ”
Perhaps because of the arrogance from the interstellar age, in Joshua's original concept, the strength of the powerhouses of the Microf world was strong enough, but in other respects they were just people from the magical feudal era, from the old Pope's words, 'Do you understand the light?' From the beginning, all the way to the 'quality and spirit transformation' of the sages of the East China Sea, and the 'creation of life' of Garanord, everything was greatly beyond Joshua's expectations, and until now, Israel and Nostradamus have joined forces to prepare to recreate a new society, directly elevating an empire in the era of feudal lords to the level of modern civilized society.
The concept of each legendary powerhouse surprised Joshua, and their vision was not bound by the times, but went far, far away...... Not only do they have dreams for themselves, but they also want others to have dreams -
Eagle has spent a lifetime in order to maintain the order of the world, and with his strength, it only takes about five minutes to destroy the entire world, Garanord can ignore the elves and take the natural path that suits her best, but she is still determined to step towards the unknown with the entire race, not to mention Nostradamus and Israel, an emperor, an emperor mentor, the president of the Royal Spell Society, and all legendary powerhouses, they are originally the biggest exploiters, the highest class, and no one can oppress them, But these two are still thinking about how to make everyone truly liberated.
"Listen, Israel, Nostradamus."
Opening his eyes, the smile on Joshua's face gradually disappeared, turning to solemnity, he turned his head and looked at the two, the warrior paused word by word, and said in the most serious tone: "I believe in your determination, and I don't think you will be corrupted immediately...... But one person cannot always be right, and two people will also be confused - the philosopher king does not exist, and so is eternally justice, just like Mother Earth, God also has selfish intentions, and the empire and its hundreds of millions of people are not your playthings, toys to play a game of 'totalitarian society', so if that day really comes. ”
Speaking of this, Joshua paused for a moment, and he said in a calm tone, "I will wake you up if your dreams deviate from your original trajectory. ”
"Huh...... Hahaha, it's great to have your words! ”
On the side, after hearing Joshua's words, Israel really laughed out loud, he no longer had tears, and he would not laugh because he couldn't breathe, but he still made this action, just because he was approved.
- That way, I can let it go.
- Even if there is a mistake and a fork in the road, there are strong enough friends to stop me, Joshua, this insurance of yours is unique in the world!
Joshua laughed too, and after the three of them laughed for a long time, Israel and Nostradamus withdrew the smiles from their faces.
"You're right." The Emperor looked at Joshua, he nodded slightly, and said with relief: "Radcliffe, I can't be 'righteous' forever, if one day, I really deviate from my own path, then please come and wake me up." ”
"That's what we're calling you for."
……
On the East Barte plateau, Nostradamus and Joshua walk in the flowing rainbow rain.
"The pollution is very serious, the high-intensity magic radiation will infect the land without any grass, desertification is predictable, and even crystallization can happen."
Looking at the magic energy machine spitting rainbow-like magic crystal dust, Joshua glanced at the sewage flowing on the ground, and then continued his slow pace: "I forgot that industrialization must be polluted. ”
"The Special Research Institute has designed a special slime that can absorb this specialized hybrid magic, and it will probably be officially put into use in a month and a half."
Walking in the rain with Joshua, Nostradamus touched his beard, his gaze was long-sighted: "And Israel and I chose the Eastern Bande Plateau, precisely because it is uninhabited, even if the pollution is serious, it will not affect the densely populated plains for the time being. ”
"You're going to leave him alone?"
"He's not a bomb that could get out of control at any time, so let Israel calm down alone, he hasn't tamed the divinity yet."
The two chatted casually about miscellaneous issues, ranging from the treasure of One Piece that was being rumored in the Far Eastern Islands to the intricate family relationships of a certain family in the West Mountains - it was not strange for an elder brother to marry a niece and a daughter to marry her father, and those warlock families never cared about ethics for the sake of the purity of the bloodline.
"The White Tower of Guantian has studied with us, if it is just to ensure that the bloodline is 100% pure, it only needs to be cloned through necromancy technology, there is no need for incest."
Nostradamus shook his head and commented: "It is certain that the offspring born of inbreeding may be imbeciles, in fact, the reason why Xishan is so chaotic is because there are few warlock families that can continue to produce geniuses who can dominate the continent. ”
"I've always wondered how the dragon blood in the Dalemond family came from?"
Talking about the issue of bloodline, Joshua couldn't help but sigh a few times, but he also remembered that the Delmond family was also a member of the West Mountain at the beginning, and only brought the people to the north at the beginning of the era, and then actually became the ruler of this land: "I mean, of course, love has nothing to do with race, but big and small ......"
"You really thought they were going to have sex?"
Suddenly, Nostradamus's eyes widened in surprise, he was an old man after all, and he had no scruples about this topic, the old mage held back for a moment, but still laughed: "The so-called goblin bloodline, it just means that he has been relied on by goblins - you know that goblins are pure energy bodies, right?" Their combination is in terms of energy and soul, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of both sides, and have the effect that one plus one is greater than two. ”
"The soul and energy of the person who has been relied on will naturally change, becoming similar to the goblin, and then achieving the effect of similar bloodline inheritance."
It turned out to be the Valkyrie set! Joshua instantly understood what the so-called dependence was all about, so it was not surprising that the goblins were such a casual race, whether it was personality or reproduction methods, it was really simple and casual, so to speak, the six princes who were loved by the goblins might have completely inherited the bloodline of this change of dependence.
The two continued to walk, leaving the range of the Apocalypse Base, Joshua stopped, and he said, "Okay, Master, it's okay to send it here, and I'll fly back myself." ”
"That's a long way off."
"Not for you and me – and it's a good idea to see the scenery once in a while."
However, just as Joshua was about to take a step forward and get up to leave, Nostradamus couldn't help but say, "Wait. ”
Joshua turned his head to look at the old mage, but he didn't speak, his expression was calm, his gaze didn't fluctuate, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
"Joshua...... What do you think of my and Israel's choice? ”
After a moment's hesitation, the old mage happily asked the question: "Although you agree with Israel, you only believe him, and you don't say what you think of our plan...... Rightly or wrongly, you are truly a strong man, and we hope to get your advice. ”
"Opinion?"
Joshua blinked, confused for a moment, but soon, he replied, "It doesn't matter. ”
"It doesn't matter?!"
"Well, it doesn't matter."
Joshua nodded, but Nostradamus could not accept this answer, he frowned, took a step forward, and asked extremely seriously, "This is your answer?" Doesn't matter? It's about all the people of the Northern Empire, about the future of hundreds of millions of people - morality, order, good and evil, good and evil, everything is in it! ”
"No, my indifference is not that I don't care."
Joshua shook his head at the old mage's excitement, he thought for a while, and then replied: "Listen, Nostradamus, I don't care what the future holds for humanity, whether they are happy and healthy in utopia or insensitive in dystopia, it's their own choice. ”
"In this respect, humanity should judge itself or save itself, and I don't care whether they destroy themselves or are born again."
Looking up at the sky, the night sky was shining, countless stars were shining in the light of the magic tide, the double moon shone on the heavens and the earth, making the entire East Bande Plateau glow with a thin veil of silver light, Joshua stared at the stars, he could see that in the huge energy flow that swept through the multiverse, five stars were changing their trajectory, and they were slowly moving, approaching the world of Mycrof.
The gears are turning, the rivers are flowing, and the stars are moving because of the resentment of the earth, just because they want to.
"The position of good and evil, righteous or not, is meaningless to the real enemy, whether it is an evil god or an abyss lord, it doesn't care whether human beings are centralized or democratic."
Looking at the moving stars, Joshua's eyes flashed with silver light, and he said softly, "For them, there is only destruction and destruction. ”
Nostradamus looked at the warrior in front of him in silence, he felt for the first time that the person in front of him was so strange and so familiar, what was the other party thinking? He couldn't understand it anymore.
But in reality, the idea of a fighter has always been simple.
"You are the emperor and his prime minister, and you need to think about the future of mankind, the stability of society, and the durability of the system...... And I'm just a fighter. ”
Joshua was not looking at the stars, he looked down at Nostradamus, and the warrior said softly, "I am the enemy of all chaos and evil, their death, their destruction. ”
"That's all."
